'Never Enough' of hair metal? Try this L.A. Guns tune

Here is your checklist for an ‘80s LA hard rock band. Long hair, black leather pants, headband, unbuttoned shirt, sunglasses, lots of jewelry and some good riffs. Hitting every item on the list is L.A. Guns and their 1989 video for Never Enough.

Most know that Guns N Roses is the offshoot of the two bands, L.A. Guns and Hollywood Roses, with Slash replacing Tracii Guns in the newly formed Guns N Roses.

Though Never Enough never charted, another single from the Cock and Loaded album called The Ballad of Jayne actually landed in the Top 40 in the spring of 1990.

L.A. Guns is still around although hardly an original member still remains.
